With the start of training camp just about one month away, the anticipation among Green Bay Packers fans is sky-high, especially for what first round draft pick Datone Jones will show on the field But at this point, he's on target to be a no show as he and the Packers have yet to reach [...]

I not worried until they actually start camp and he's not there. With rookie salaries being pretty much slotted the agent is probably doing his job and trying to get every little thing he can for his client. To hold out of camp for what amounts to minor issues would really be stupid on the agents and/or the players part.

Wouldn't it be easier to root for the Bears or Vikings so we didn't have to scan alllll the way toward the bottom of the list each year to see where our draft picks are? I mean, Lions? BAM right near the top. Bears? Middle. Vikes? Middle, plus they can scan down to the bottom so see our picks to know who's going to fill out their roster seven years from now.

As of right now, there are 17 1st rounders signed. The largest group unsigned are a block of 8 toward the bottom of the round, where Jones is in the middle of that block, and the picks just above and below have not had terms disclosed. Based on this I would think he'll be one of the later signings, but I am sure it will get done this week with the rest of the first rounders. At this point all they are negotiating is the guarantee amount vs. the double-dip provisions so I don't think any of the rest will hold out.
